Are you trying the --rebuild command as root? By default, RPM does it's work in /usr/src/RPM/* which as a normal user you don't have write access to. =) > do I really have to go through the whole config compiling shebang > just to get an i686 or AMD optimised kernel? And I've never tried this, but it may make an i586 .rpm anyway depending on how the .spec file for the rpm is written.
